Healthy Outlook

A glammed-up group of good-hearted guests supported the future of medical care in O.C. by attending Saddleback Memorial Foundation’s gala at The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel. Partygoers like Leila Rasouli and Jan Johnson were treated to a reception, dinner and dancing, but memories were made when 8-year-old Max Page—known for his role as Darth Vader in a 2011 Volkswagen commercial—made an appearance (in full costume, of course). Page, who was born with damage to his heart, hosted the fund-a-need auction with his family, which brought in nearly $70,000. Even more exciting was the news that $215,000 was raised for Saddleback’s Designed for Healing renovation project. The goal of the makeover: to improve the medical center’s healing environment through nature-inspired design. Photography by Paul Gero
